NORFOLK, VA. — Robert Wayne Dunnington, a Virginia Beach restaurant operator, is expected to plead guilty Tuesday in federal court in the illegal interception of a phone call Gov. Douglas Wilder made to a political supporter in 1988, according to sources. Dunnington, who once had social ties with Sen. Charles Robb, D-Va., is scheduled to plead guilty to one count of either intercepting the call or giving a recording of the call to a second party. He faces up to five years in prison on each charge. Dunnington would be the first person charged as part of a four-month federal investigation into the making of the tape. Robb became involved when the tape was found in possession of his office staff.
